CURRENT METERS Ancillary Description
Quality Only two of the moorings were recovered, mooring 2 and 5, one from both the summer and winter deployment programs. Six of the twelve current meters were recovered. Data were read from Aanderaa tapes and the S4 solid state memory and processed to produce a calibrated data file. Scatter, vector-sum, temperature/time and vector/time (stick) plots were produced. Time series of all data columns from the current meters have been produced, and for the S4 time series of the standard deviation of the U (east) and V (north) velocities. Tidal current analyses have been performed for the currents from each meter.
